Ado
A dynamic so dynamic.
A torrent to perceive.
A gambit of emotions.
The years conceive.
A tear. An eye.
A heart. A sleeve.

Always prepared to give.
And reluctant to receive.

I watch the group of you.From the outside in.I see all of you, and all of your compassion.I barely know where to begin.The love. And the respect.The quiet. And the din.The worry. The fury. The sound advice.The raising of the chin.

It’s the overwhelming urge to share your lives.And the way it’s always been.

It’s much ado about everything.And that’s okay.I see all of you, giving all that you’ve got.On any given day.The laughter. And the hugs.The work. And the play.The adamant of your honesty.Your investment in all the way.

It’s about saying exactly what you mean.And the meaning of what you say.

I find it exhaustively inspirational.And extremely refreshing.
I see all of you, lay it all out there.With zero window dressing.No self-preservation. And no hesitation.No wasted words. And no second guessing.One on one. And all for one.When one of you is stressing.

ImplicitI sense it in your demeanor I hear it in your voiceYou’d appreciate my input to steer you to your choice You are hesitant. I understand. The long-term is your concernYou digest the output from my live and learn

The strength of our friendship is our mutual respect My honest thoughts are all you can expect Frank and forward, telling it like it is My honest observations go something like this

Age is just a number, as the saying goes It’s really just a matter of who knows Fifty-three, the new forty-three Forty-two, so thirty-two?All that matters, really,is her, plus you

Perspective is everything,
when it comes to the heart
You are far better together
than when you’re apart
Fulfillment is truly reciprocal
It’s all about how you feel
If it feels best together,
what you have is real

So much common outlook,
that it’s effortless to share
Life is far more full
when you’re both there
The physical, the cerebral
The intimacy, the fun
Life seems more complete
when you two are one

We are in absolute agreement,
that the enemy is regret
It becomes more assured and clear
with the further we get
My words are implicit, coming from the right placeAs honest, and reassuring,asthe smile on your face

I sensed it in your ease I can hear it in your voiceBoth relaxed, and relievedwith your obvious choice You are happy. Bottom line. Nothing selfish in that smile You’ve known what you want for quite a while

There is a place reserved at the front of my thoughts for the good people…

For the those who make an indelible impressionA lasting, singular imprint in the matter of my mind Who personify perspectiveAn insight into how to livewith a clear, distinct understanding that it’s cool to be kind.

For those who possess a truly honest dignitySeeing the realities of this world in the best possible light Who look ever forward Learning from life experienceguided on their unique way by a sense of what is right

For those who put othersbefore themselvesKnowing that compassion and integrityare indeed reciprocalWho expect nothing in returnbut your friendship and respectas you join them on their pathto a life that’s exceptional

There is a place reserved
for such people… at the front of my thoughts,
in the matter of my mind
And it would be my honour to continue this journey
on the same path as them

Friendships shape a life Make it worth livingMemories from the giftMemories in the giving

Connecting you to two lives A defining link to your past A certain part of your futureFriends first, and friends lastRemaining close in spiritWith no matter how far
It’s not just what you do
A friend is who you are

Inside jokes with just a glance
Self-effacing, imitation to the letter
Funnier from the shared experience The more absurd, the more the better
Acting your age always optionalSpeak your mind, or from your gut
Colourful language, to be expectedOpinions matter, no matter what

Trusting that it stays here
The bond as strong as the word
The vault is always left open
But once it’s said, it is once heard
Criticizing when only required
Subtle reminders of any pretense
Calmly putting you in your place
And you knowing that it makes sense

Friendships shape a lifeMake it worth livingMemories from the giftMemories in the giving…

Staying right beside you Throughout the unplanned Still managing to realizeWhen they don’t understand
Strength in that numberThe enduring power of twoDoing whatever it takesAnd knowing what to do

Friendships shape a lifeMake it worth livingMemories from the gift
Memories in the giving

Connecting you to two lives
A defining link to your past
A certain part of your futureFriends first, and friends lastRemaining close in spirit With no matter how far It’s not just what you do A friend is who you are
